With the NFL draft just over two months away, the constant evaluation and re-evaluation of prospects is an ongoing process with little end in sight. Even after the draft, there will be re-rankings of the draft class ad nauseam.

The Monday Morning Quarterback staff over at Sports Illustrated gave the 2018 draft class its latest go with a big board of prospects. The first local name to come up is Texas offensive lineman Connor Williams at No. 14.

The analysts believed that a knee injury has hurt Williams' chances of being a top-10 or top-five prospect.

"If he returns to form, he has prototypical size (6' 6", 320 lbs.) and athleticism for a left tackle, with some nastiness as a run-blocker as well," the report reads.

Williams is followed by a pair of Sooners, offensive tackle Orlando Brown (No. 16) and quarterback Baker Mayfield (No. 18).

"There's a reason few 6-foot quarterbacks make it in the NFL, and the fact that he's coming from an Air Raid offense is a second strike against Mayfield. Still, he was adept at finding throwing lanes at the collegiate level," MMQB scouted.

Down the list at No. 36 is SMU wide receiver Courtland Sutton. MMQB wants to see the Mustang round out his skill set.

"Sutton dominated at the collegiate level thanks to a blend of size (6' 4", 220 lbs.) and athleticism," the report reads. "A contested-catch specialist in the Brandon Marshall mold, he has the raw tools to become a No. 1 receiver but has a long way to go as far as learning some of the nuances of the position."

Rounding out the locals on the list is Texas A&M wide receiver Christian Kirk.

"Kirk is dangerous with the ball in his hands, a hard runner who can create yards after the catch. He too often fights the ball though, and will fail to come up with a lot of catchable balls," MMQB scouts.
